The goal of this project is to generate a package or packages that will set up a cross-compiling environment for one (slow) NetBSD architecture on another (fast) NetBSD architecture, starting with (and using) the NetBSD toolchain in src.

The package will require a checked out NetBSD src tree (or as a refinement, parts thereof) and is supposed to generate the necessary cross-building tools using src/build.sh with appropriate flags; for the necessary /usr/include and libraries of the slow architecture, build these to fit or use the slow architecture's base.tgz and comp.tgz (or parts thereof). As an end result, you should e.g. be able to install the binary cross/pkgsrc-NetBSD-amd64-to-atari package on your fast amd64 and start building packages for your slow atari system.

Use available packages, like eg pkgtools/pkg_comp to build the cross-compiling environment where feasible.

As test target for the cross-compiling environment, use pkgtools/pkg_install, which is readily cross-compilable by itself.

If time permits, test and fix cross-compiling pkgsrc X.org, which was made cross-compilable in an earlier GSoC project, but may have suffered from feature rot since actually cross-compiling it has been too cumbersome for it to see sufficient use.
